Mark Goldbridge calls out England manager Gareth Southgate on his ridiculous selection policy and the horrible message it sends to football. Get your comments in below on the latest football news.
2:03 LMAO, You got that right, Gareth Southgate is a C***!!! LOL. How any manager of football cannot see that Anthony Gordon isn't a superstar in the making, shouldn't be a manager of football! He has been probably one of Newcastle's best players since they signed him! The fact Southgate still puts Maguire in the team is DISGUSTING!!!! WTF!!!!!
It’s not even just about the numbers JWP is producing, it’s the fact he’s actually a very good footballer & putting in great performances too. It’s a disgrace he isn’t included in the squad
As a Liverpool fan I am a fan of jwp and what he can offer, id have loved to see us bid for him, what he can offer in set pieces alone is huge and potentially game changing, guy genuinely deserves a good England run especially over Henderson
Actually funny how Mark is suddenly advocating for Ward-Prowse after calling him a crap, average player numerous times on United Stand this past transfer window.
I feel so sorry for the England team, such a talented generation of players and yet he’ll make sure the tradition of not winning anything goes on. Such a shame 😩
Australian here, Mark is speaking total facts. England could be a genuine powerhouse of a 25 man squad, yet continue to "reward" either embarrassing club performances or coach favourites.
If it’s total facts, how come he didn’t mention anything about Rashford who has been in absolutely awful form? There is definitely a bias in the opinion. Sterling should be over Rashford but there was no point mentioned because he is a United fan.
What's most baffling is that Sterling was getting picked for the Euros and WC campaign when he didn't deserve to and was out of form. Now that he's actually playing well and deserves a place, he isn't getting a sniff. I just do not get what goes on in Southgate's brain
he's re-living the penalty miss in Euro 96 so he self sabotages to experience it again and again and again. He should keep his masochism to his bedroom and leave England alone
He’ll go to the euros because of his experience. What do we gain from him playing against Malta/Macedonia? We know how good he is. The same people slagging GS off for this would do the same if the likes of bowen/ Palmer had missed out
As a Liverpool fan I really like to see current/former Liverpool players in the squad. BUT....how can one NOT pick JWP?? And it is hillarious to see JH picked more often after he ( semi ) retired to KSA than he was when at the peak!!
Didn't he pick Maddison and Wilson, when it was pretty much known they were injured, yet we all knew they wouldn't be avaliable. Honestly, the media WANTS him to win something so bad, so they can 'prove everyone wrong.;
Absolutely. Just like the PGMOL there’s a certain mentality around protecting traditional English things, and your media plays a huge part in both. If the media was actually journalistic both institutions would get regularly torn to shreds or at least heavily scrutinized. Instead they by and large defends these archaic, backwards practices
and the best part is that maddison couldn't get a look in when he was playing so well at leicester for years. moves to tottenham and everything changes
Here’s another contradiction. He hardly played Grealish when he was tearing it up at Villa but plays him when he’s sitting on the bench week in week out for City.
The fact that jwp is not in the team and kalvin Phillips is Is ridiculous as a Leeds fan I love Phillips but how is he in the team? Also Henderson is a leader but he plays in bloody Saudi Arabia how is he in the team Get Southgate out All of our best players are gonna end up switching nationalities
Doesn't matter about the league a footballer plays in if they are class at international and league level they should be picked. Saudi national team picks from there own league ,Japan and Korea pick from everywhere
it doesn't matter, he can say to Jordan Henderson, look I'm not going to pick you but i want you to come as a coach as i think your a leader and having you around will make the team better. Nobody would have a problem with that.
mate.....just drop the Saudi schtick.....CR7 plays in the same league and he is still banging in goals for Portugal. Englishmen are hardly the bastion of morality...... SG is the problem....not Jordan...
As soon as Henderson went to Saudi Arabia, that was his international career done, in my opinion. To be considered, you must be playing at the highest level domestically. Occasionally, I know players are picked from the Championship, but there are too many players performing well week-in-week-out in the Premier League.
Henderson playing for England after his Saudi move is like asking a Professional Karter to jump into an F1 car and compete. There is no way he can be expected to step back up the same level as his PL teammates and play against the same level opposition.
Yeah it was so funny when the crowd were booing him and the media kept saying its be cause of lgbt stuff its like nah it's because he shouldn't be in the squad nvm on the pitch
Pretty sure he knew his move will not jeapordize his England and Euro chances. If he didn’t have that guarantee/was told it wouldn’t be possible flat out, he’d not have left until after this season.
While I agree that Phillips shouldn't be in the squad, Loftus-Cheek should be nowhere near it either. He is nowhere near good enough. Playing games for AC Milan doesn't mean what it used to.
Phillips is meant to be Rodri’s backup. Pep didn’t even trust him to play the Rodri role when the Spaniard was suspended, yet he’s always called up for England.
Raheem Sterling not being picked is the biggest farce! How on one hand does he say that Maguire and Phillips have always played well for England so they get picked yet Sterling who single handedly DRAGGED us to a Cup Final doesn’t get in the team? Because how I see it, carrying a team to a final is a lot more of a “Playing well for your country” situation than Maguire and Phillips combined!!! Angers me to my core the disrespect Sterling receives
Roy Hodgson is the only England manager who said he would play youngers and actually did it to blood them for the future Southgate reaped the benefits of that but even with a great squad and won nothing
He overlooks players on form, picks players who don't play, players who are injured. JWP and Sterling have deserved to be in the squad. He's safe hands, that's why the FA keep him.
This is the same man who told Colwill he needs to play more to get picked and he in turn put pressure on chelsea to play him. However, if you're one of Southgate's boys, you just waltz into the first team.
Unfortunately this is something I see even at work where you'll have people that deserve promotions or a certain job and yet the manager or company director would just pick one their mates or one of their fravourites regardless of whether they're performing or not. On top of his squad selection even his tactics are wrong for me. Whenever we play in a tournament he will set up the team to not lose rather than setting it up to win. That's where you can see used to manage relegation sides as any top manager like a Klopp or a Guardiola would just set his team up to win the game. As a collective England as one of the best squads in the world at the moment. If he was more ambitious we win Euro 2020. Would have made the final of the World Cup in 2018 and I think would have got the final in 2022 too. If Southgate was Man City manager he would probably bench de bruyne for Phillips.
Southgate looking after his mates, Phillips, maguire, Henderson! Why does he get to leave in his own terms? The most protected national manager ever! 😡
@@jackbradshaw8992 does it though? You have to factor in the squad he’s working with. This is one of the most stacked English squads ever, maybe the most. A lot of managers would absolutely perform better with this squad.
@@jackbradshaw8992never even beaten a decent team in a knock-out game, has he? His style is negative, and the average person in the boozer would pick a better starting XI
To my mind there is a disconnect between this England team and the supporters. This is down to Southgate pure and simple. This will not change until Southgate has gone and we can move on. At the moment it’s just a bore to watch England play. It should be something to look forward to but it’s anything but. I suspect the usual Euros in that we get through the group and then fail once we come up against anyone half decent.
This will always happen, im old enough to remember ian Wright being the golden boot winner and still not going to a tournament . J.W.P is the best dead ball /set piece specialist since Beckham .
He says he wants to play the youth and give them a chance, under Southgate’s watch J. Musiala, and T. Lamptey went to play for other countries. Yet we insist to play Henderson and Philips who don’t play or the standard they play isn’t good enough.
I've never really supported England despite being english because the brand of football has always put me off. But still its really sad to see this current crop of England players being held back and constrained by Southgate. If they had a different manager I don't think its a stretch to say they would have won trophies by now.
Ever since '66, England has been looking for the next Sir Alf. It's not Southgate! Since missing that penalty in the Euros, he's always found a way to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
I agree Mark. We had a whole week of Promo for TAA and his revolutionary midfield position in the last internationals. He then started him at right back, then played Philips over him in the next game. When a midfield of Rice, Bellingham and TAA would've been exciting to see.
Same with Ben White. Southgate would rather pick the fridge, over Ben White.. He better leave after the EUROs, stop hindering the progress of England NT.
To leave the best dead ball specialist in the prem JWP out of the England squad is criminal. How the hell is Henderson getting picked over him. Ridiculous. Spot on Mark with everything you said.
It is getting to the point where if Southgate isn't gone there is going to be a generation of young English players that are playing elsewhere. Gordon been arguably Newcastle's best performing player this season a Euro U21 winner and player of the tournament with no hope of a call up. It's these type of players coming out of the u 21s that will go elsewhere if the family situation allows it. Livremento is another player touted for a move elsewhere because they don't see a progression from u 21s to full international in England. It's blatantly obvious and other countries are clapping their hands looking at family affiliation knowing Southgate is a clown
2:03 LMAO, You got that right, Gareth Southgate is a C***!!! LOL. How any manager of football cannot see that Anthony Gordon isn't a superstar in the making, shouldn't be a manager of football! He has been probably one of Newcastle's best players since they signed him! The fact Southgate still puts Maguire in the team is DISGUSTING!!!! WTF!!!!!
At this point Southgate knows this is his last tournament, victorious or not, so he really doesn't care about noise going into this one, and the rest of us should save our breath for the next guy in the hot-seat
It's like an F1 team having the best car and putting a mediocre driver in it. Southplank has had enough chances with this squad now, enoughs enough. Get rid
Where’s the transparency over Ben White? No one in the press has the balls to ask the question why he’s not getting in the squad. He had a fall out behind the scenes and that’s all that’s been said. Not good enough! Southgate’s a complete joke on squad selections.
Do not forget. The FA like yes men as their managers for England. Not men with balls. Just look at the history of England managers over the last 30 years. Those with balls fired. Those not, overpaid underperformed and/or a foreginer.
You are right Mark. However, I don't think he will win the Euros because at some point he will have to go to the bench and instead of having a James Ward Prowse he will have to put on a Henderson who won't be sharp. This approach will backfire on us all. The Ben White situation shows if you don't do exactly what Southgate wants you are out. It's actually a toxic culture. We should have already won a trophy with this group.
Well said - can't argue with anything you've said. It's been like this for ages now. And we won't win the Euros because he's gutless and won't make the correct decisions. Sooner he goes, the better.
England would do far better at competitions if southgate was to pick players based on form and not favouritism surely an international trophy should be most important
